Options that matter on site
- Traffic lights. Red and green lights and warning beacons for drivers.
- Matched motors. The motor type and size are chosen for the door's weight, space and cycle count.
- Safety devices. Safety edges, photocells and light curtains, force-tested to BS EN 12453.
- Activation options. Choose how the door is opened, from staff buttons to automatic vehicle detection.
- Manual override. Chain or crank override so doors open during power cuts.
What this work can involve
- Converting hand-chained sectional doors to electric operation with push-button controls, safety edges and photocells.
- Fitting induction loops and an inverter control panel so forklifts can open a busy internal door without stopping.
- Fitting a centre-mounted motor to a roller shutter where a side wall leaves no room at the barrel end.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Stamford Hill?
In England, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.
Keeping your site running during the work
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Door automation and controls in Stamford Hill: your questions
Do you take responsibility for the conformity paperwork in Stamford Hill?
Yes. When we convert a door to power, we carry out the risk assessment, test the door and issue the Declaration of Conformity and user instructions, as the person who has made it a machine.
How long does a door automation job take in Stamford Hill?
A straightforward conversion is usually completed and commissioned in a day. Loops, interlocks and traffic lights add time, and we plan the work so the door is out of use for as little time as possible.
Which activation would suit our Stamford Hill site?
It depends on who uses the door. Buttons suit staff, remotes suit drivers, pull cords and loops suit forklifts, and radar suits mixed traffic. We look at your traffic on survey and recommend a set-up.
